24、Everyone knows that sleep is very important. A person who does not sleep dies faster than a person who does not eat. We spend about a third of our lives on sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!

How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children of 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older.

About one in three Americans have a problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia. Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” But that’s not really true. They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only remember the time they were awake, so they think they were awake all night.

This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make themselves sleep. Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. Mark Twain had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!

【1】If a boy is 10 years old, about ________ hours of sleep will be needed.

A．6

B．11

C．9

D．16

【2】What does the underlined word “insomnia” mean?

A．no sleep

B．good sleep

C．slow sleep

D．sleep with dreams

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．People will die soon if they don’t sleep well.

B．We can tell a person’s age from his sleep time.

C．The older people get, the less sleep they need.

D．Famous people move from one bed to another to fall asleep.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Age and Sleep Time

B．Famous People and Sleep

C．Sleep More

D．Go to Sleep

25、Zhang Guimei show us how to be a good teacher and the importance of a teacher in students’ lives.

In 2009, Zhang Guimei founded the Huaping High School for Girls in Lijiang, Yunnan Province. This is a special high school which did not ask for tuition fees (学费) from girls in poor families. In 2003, Zhang began to raise money for the school, but her efforts were often met with suspicion and even misunderstanding. During 2003 and 2007, Zhang spent her spare time asking people to make donations (捐款) for her school. However, the money she got was not enough. In 2007, after her dream was reported by the media (媒体), the government promised to help her project.

Zhang carries on strict school rules. She plans every minute of her students’ timetable. At 5:20 a. m., she wakes up all the girls. They must take a nap in the afternoon. They are only allowed three hours a week outside of the school. And long hair is not allowed in school. She wants to change the lives of many girls from poor families through education.

Eleven years later, over 1,600 girl students have graduated from the school and received higher education-including many famous universities in China.

When people asked why she made so many efforts to help girls in the mountains to receive better education, she just said, “I believe it is really important for girls to receive education. I hope they can live happier than me. And it will be the greatest comfort to me.”

26、UNICEF is an international charity that helps children around the world. It was set up in 1946 to help children in Europe and China after World War II. It wanted to make life better for those who were badly influenced.

Now, UNICEF has a number of plans and hopes to achieve for children in every country. For example, they think that all children should be able to have safe drinking water. They also work hard to make sure that children can get medicine if they are ill. In many countries, children, especially girls, do not have the chance to go to school, so UNICEF tries to let them get a good education.

UNICEF is different from many other charities because it works with different governments around the world. Though many governments have their own systems (体系) to improve the lives of their children, UNICEF has so much experience that it can advise governments on how to make their systems better. UNICEF has done many great things since it started and will carry on with its work only if people can keep donating money to help it.

A．To give children enough food.

A．To help women around the world.

B．To give children clean water to drink.

C．To make the world peaceful.

D．To make governments do something for it.

【3】Why is UNICEF interested in girls’ education?

A．Because all boys can go to school.

B．Because their parents let them stay at home.

C．Because there are no schools for girls after the Second World War.

D．Because girls often have fewer chances than boys to go to school.

A．Because it works with governments.

27、The Hugo (雨果) Awards, the world’s top science fiction awards, were announced on the night of Oct 21, 2023. Chinese writer Hai Ya’s book The Space-Time Painter won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette. He became the third Chinese writer to win a Hugo award after Liu Cixin in 2015 and Hao Jingfang in 2016.

When creating The Space-Time Painter, Hai Ya drew his idea from a famous painting by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Based on Wang, Hai Ya created a painter named Zhao Ximeng. After many hard times, Zhao’s mind leaves his body and enters a space where a modern policeman is trying to solve a case about an ancient painting.

Hai Ya’s story with science fiction began in his childhood. “When I was a child, the bookstore in my hometown helped create a beautiful garden in my mind that belonged to me only. In it, science fiction offered the most beautiful ‘flowers’. Science fiction opened up a new world to him as a kid,” said Hai Ya.

Hai Ya’s works are a mix of history and science fiction. These two styles seem opposite. One looks back at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya’s works, they find a perfect balance.

“If we can only imagine the future and things in space like rockets, it will only limit our imagination. I don’t think history is something completely in the past. It is flowing, and we can look forward to the future by looking back at history. History is also part of our future,” Hai Ya said.

Science fiction lovers in China feel inspired (激发) by Hai Ya. More Chinese writers today are trying to mix traditional culture with modern stories. Hai Ya believes that it is not a choice but a natural process (过程). “Our history and culture have universal values (普世价值) that can touch everyone,” he said.

【1】What do we know about The Space-Time Painter?

A．It tells Wang Ximeng’s life story.

B．It is inspired by an ancient painting.

C．Its story is based on the faraway future.

D．It is a novel about the Song Dynasty.

【2】How did science fiction influence Hai Ya as a child?

A．It offered him traditional ways to write novels.

B．It taught him a lot about planting flowers.

C．It introduced him to a different world.

D．It helped him mix the East with the West.

【3】What does Hai Ya believe about the relationship between history and the future?

A．History is opposite to the future.

B．History can help us look forward to our future.

C．History offers us everything to shape our future.

D．History and the future are separate from each other.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Chinese traditional culture is inspired by Hai Ya.

B．Mixing traditional and modern culture is a choice.

C．Chinese writers are trying to limit their science fiction works.

D．A new force of science fiction has risen to spread Chinese culture.
